AUDITION ANNOUNCEMENT – “Ripcord” a comedy by David Lindsay-Abaire
Presented by Pocket Community Theatre
Directed by: Steve Mitchell and Glenn Calloway
Performance Dates: June 5-7 and 12-14, 2026

ABOUT THE SHOW:
A sunny room on an upper floor is prime real estate in the Bristol Place Senior Living Facility, so when the cantankerous Abby s forced to share her quarters with new arrival Marilyn, she has no choice but to get rid of the infuriatingly chipper woman by any means necessary. A seemingly harmless bet between the old women quickly escalates into a dangerous game of one-upmanship that reveals not just the tenacity of these worthy opponents but also deeper truths that each would rather remain hidden.

AUDITION DETAILS:
Dates: Sunday, April 12 and Monday, April 13 from 6:00-8:00 p.m.
Location: Pocket Community Theatre, 170 Ravine Street, Hot Springs, AR

Abby Binder (70s – 80s)…rigid, headstrong, pulled back hair with a bun. No sense of humor, very businesslike. Wants to be alone. Wears dark clothes.

Marilyn Dunn (70s – 80s)…flamboyant, loves life, very messy, organization is not her forte, high energy, wears flamboyant clothes.

Scottie (20s – 30s)…introspective thinker, peace maker, loves his patients, loves his job, and helps his clients, actor in local theater.

Lewis (30s – 40s)…Marilyn’s oldest son and sky diving instructor. Yells commands.

Benjamin (40s)…Abby’s son and clown. He tries to bridge the gap between him and his mother, nice guy. As the clown he is loud and scary.
